Hamersley iron ore28 Aug 2020 00:51
The two projects are within the Hamersley Province of Western Australia, known as one of the premier iron ore producing regions of the world. The Brockman Project (E47/3953) is located in the west Hamersley Province, 100 kilometres ("km") northwest of the Rio Tinto iron ore mining town of Tom Price, and 90km west of the Tom Price to Dampier mine railway. The Han**** Ranges Project (E47/3954) is located in the east Hamersley Province, 15km north of the BHP iron ore mining town of Newman, and 20km west of the Newman to Port Hedland mine railway.
KBG Consultants Ltd (KBG) have completed a detailed compilation and review of all historic exploration work carried out on the two project areas including culminating in submitting a proposed a next stage exploration strategy based on the findings of the detailed review.
Over 600 public reports were reviewed covering both projects, with all relevant reports and maps compiled into a database for future reference. No fieldwork was done during this validation of the historic data, but all field locations were georeferenced as accurately as possible as part of the review.
Five priority prospects were identified and further studied and next stage exploration has been proposed for all of them. For the Brockman Project, three targets focus on the historic high-grade BHP prospects numbers 15, 19 and 20, which the Company has planned to follow-up with detailed grid-based surface mapping and sampling to support a maiden drilling programme. Two key targets in the Han**** Ranges Project are the Sirius Extension prospect, that has previously been drilled by Volta Mining (refer RNS dated September 20th, 2019 for further information), and the Kalgan Prospect in the north-north-west of the project, that the Company believes has excellent potential.
